Blacks: Genetically Equal?
[Human] hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cells which carries oxygen. Blacks have abnormal hemoglobin more often than Whites, leading them to various health problems.
A mention of some abnormal hemoglobins in Blacks, here: [url]http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:QU5EQ-ALkSgJ:med.usd.edu/som/somdept/biochem/courses/bioc520/b520_55.htm+defective+hemoglobins+Blacks+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8[/url] [cached, half-way down; 3 types listed: Hemoglobin [Hb] S, C, E].

Our question: just what do our popular-culture-masters mean when they say that "Blacks are equal to Whites?"

Oh Kminta, I'm sorry but I don't think so -- a chunk of the American medical field is now struggling with what to do about a newly created AIDS drug -- it works about 80% of the time in BLACKS, and is statistically useless in whites. The AMA and lots of medical folks are agonizing about what to do -- continue researching a drug that CLEARLY helps blacks, but also makes TOO TOO clear that blacks and whites are biologically DIFFERENT, or do the p.c. thing and STOP the research because it's "racist."
These are suposedly educated intelligent people, and they are wringing their hands and trying to figure out the "right" thing to do. So, yes, this stuff, unpleasant as it is for you to have to deal with, DOES have to be brought up over and over!
